حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا زَکَرِيَّائُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو إِسْحَقَ الْفَزَارِيُّ اکْتُبْ عَنْ بَقِيَّةَ مَا رَوَی عَنْ الْمَعْرُوفِينَ وَلَا تَکْتُبْ عَنْهُ مَا رَوَی عَنْ غَيْرِ الْمَعْرُوفِينَ وَلَا تَکْتُبْ عَنْ إِسْمَعِيلَ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ مَا رَوَی عَنْ الْمَعْرُوفِينَ وَلَا عَنْ غَيْرِهِمْ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 80
Suwayd bin Sa’īd narrated to us, Alī bin Mus’hir narrated to us, he said: ‘Hamzah az-Zayyāt and I heard from Abān bin Abī Ayyāsh something like one thousand Ḥadīth’. Alī said: ‘So I met Hamzah then he informed me that he saw the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah upon him, [in a dream], and he produced for him what he heard from Abān. However he [the Prophet] didn’t recognize any except a small amount [like] five or six [Ḥadīth]’.
